This has been driving me absolutely nuts..
I built a PC for a friend of mine, he wanted firewire, so my boss gave me this really badass card..

Its a PCI card with 2x USB2, SATA, 4 & 6 pin firewire to the back..
Then, on the inside, its got 2x USB2, 4pin Firewire, and an IDE slot

There are absolutely NO markings on this card that tell me what it is, who makes it, nothing.. I contacted VIA, maker of the chips and they tell me to Look in the FAQ section.. Which I told them I already did.. Then paid the 30$ to join DriverAgent, and it will detect everything but the one thing I need the driver for..

Ill give you all the info I have, can someone please help me find a driver for VISTA32 for this..

Has 3 VIA chipsets VT6306, VT6421, VT6214.. Bottom right corner of card has the marking LF40M3, Top left has T-7491.. On back there is a sticker that says 5023V512140217.. Googled all numbers, cant find squat..
 
Because I'm only finding cards with 3USB in the back and 2 Firewire in the back
 
Derr.. Yeah.. Pics might help

I really hope I didnt just overlook something easy to see.. That would be embarassing..
 
Nevermind, that's not a sticker :-P hahah

Hm.. it can't be SIIG cause they have these huge logos on the chips.. weird,
 
I'm downloading the zip file to see what's inside..16MB seriously?

I wonder if it'll work at all with Vista... I haven't worked with vista yet, so I don't know their driver details.. actually I did have to work with Vista once.. my friends old HP LaserJet wouldn't work after he reformated.. Had to download a obscure DLL to replace in some windows folder so the print spooler wouldn't effin quit everytime the pritner was detected and then reinstalled the drivers rebooted a few times and it worked..

So... :-\ I have my doubts with Vista...
 
Regardless of wether this works or not.. Im still pretty embarassed.. ive been on and off looking for drivers for this thing for 11 days now.. and in 2 hours you already found a pic, description, and a driver..

Thnx

DL'ing now, will tell you if it works..
 
haha.. I'm not trying to sound arrogant here, but I'm pretty good at searching for shit.. and defeating spyware, manually.. haha but yeah 11 days before you posted? I would've quit after the first day.

But the drivers.. in the zip files.. are just VIA standard drivers. So i dunno.. does anything work on the card by default? Like USB ports?
